St Johns vs Arizona St - 11/23

Revenge games as Ariz St dominted the Johnnies in last years NCAA tournament play in game.

Arizona St is a middle of the pack Pac 12 team.  They are 2-1 on the year beating 2 scrub teams and losing to a good Colorado team.

This will be the 2nd real team St Johns faces this year.  We came close to beating VT, the only other real team we have faced.

Getting dunn in the starting lineup is a must starting Saturday.  We cant have Rutherford out there and continue to play 4 on 5 on the offensive end.

I think St Johns gets their 1st big win of the season.

St Johns - 78
Az St - 74

Guys I wouldn’t worry to much about Rutherford. Dunn is going to play plenty.

Expecting a loud and strong Johnnies contingent in the stands. Looking forward to the weekend it's going to be a lot of fun. This is a golden opportunity to boost our stock. Playing UVA is house money but I believe we have the horses to contrast their slow, low scoring approach. First have to get through ASt. who always is a matchup nightmare for us.

Players to watch: backcourt duo of freshman Jaelen House and 6' junior Remy Martin. Thankfully Dort and Cheatham both are professionals now, they torched us last year.

They beat us 74-65. That’s not dominant. If Heron or Clark showed up at all we could have won. Thankfully that monster Luguentz Dort is gone on a two-way NBA contract.

I would think our guys would be ready to bring it for some revenge. Heron was awful in that game and no competitor can be ok with that.

We can't make it out to Queens. We're going to represent strong in Connecticut?

Great job by you and others in making the trip. I'm bailing out.

Its not about Dunns playing time.  Of couse he is going to play.
 
Its about nailing this roster down, getting rotations going etc. 

We need to start forming this team into what it is going to be this year.  And Dunn is soooo much better then rutherford hes earned the starting spot.

There is no need to wait another second to make this move.

It seems like we have have a slight advantage in the front court and they have the advantage in the back court. Dunn will have to be huge defensively because Rutherford can’t guard that caliber of player.

Verge and the House are still adjusting to the level of play and can’t shoot yet, so it’s a good time to be playing them.

They appear to be a team that will be close to the dance but on the wrong side of the bubble. My money would be on ASU but it should be a very winnable game.

He basically said we were lazy last year. Obviously, he remembers us.

How the hell can someone reach that conclusion from quote above?

Only a delusional St.John’s fan could take a positive statement about one team and turn it into a negative about another.

Here is just one of dozens of positive comments from Hurley regarding Mullin at St. John’s:

“I have the utmost respect for Chris and the job he’s done to get St. John’s to the NCAA Tournament....”

Did you watch the last 4 years with your eyes closed?

Dude, it's time to give it up. Mullin is gone and isn't coming back. You're not going to change anybody's mind on how he was as a coach the same way nobody is going to change your mind about it. Coaches will praise opposing coaches all the time so no need to read into anything they say about Anderson or Mullin.

Came ready to play. All 5 players contributed in the first 4 min stretch. Nice to see.

Really gotta take advantage here. Need LJ and or Heron back in after under 12.

LJ was blatantly shoved out of bounds with a no-call. Very frustrating.

Not a fan of the Dunn, Williams, Caraher, Earlington, Sears lineup. That is an 0-18 Big East lineup. Let Arizona State go on a little run to get back in it.

We have absolutely no offensive plan once again. It’s pass around the perimeter and heave a three or go one-on-one. This is insane.

I don’t like Sears and Williams trying to score. They better cut that shit out. Sears is on the bench in three weeks hopefully.

Somebody has to try to score in that lineup

These are terrible substations. No reason for Williams and Sears to be playing as early as they did.

The subs this game defy logic. Who subs like that up 14-2?

This is the worst half court offense I’ve seen in 20+ years as a St. John’s fan. Have we run one set play all season? Does Anderson even practice half court offense?
